eyes were
violet rather than their natural green, and her skin had been dyed
the color of dark chocolate. Her lips now looked much bigger, and
were coated with fire engine red lipstick, and her eyelashes were
much longer and thicker. Most remarkably of all, her walk, a
distinctive, incredibly graceful movement like the stalk of a
jungle cat, was now changed beyond recognition. With each step she
took, Merry rolled her hips like a belly dancer, making her
shoulders and her greatly enhanced breasts and buttocks seem to
move in several directions at once.
    “How do you like the new me, Daddy?” she
asked her open-mouthed father. “They put something in my shoes that
makes me walk like this.” She demonstrated a little more, obviously
enjoying the sensation.
    “You shouldn’t… I mean, it isn’t right… Oh Christ !” Colonel Bransom stammered. “If you weren’t my
daughter, I would… oh, never mind,” he told the grinning Merry. He
shook his head, as if to dispel the image. “Captain Murphy and I
have come up with the perfect place for you to go to ground. Tell
them about it, Captain,” he said, waving his hand at the
intelligence man.
    “General Cafferson had a vacation cabin for
his personal use,” Dick Murphy said. “It was his own private place,
completely off the books. He paid for everything out of his own
pocket. Nobody but me and two of his bodyguards even knows it
exists. It’s fully stocked with food, with well water, and its own
geothermal electric power, off the grid. It’s also about twenty
miles from nowhere, in the western Virginia mountains. The General
also bought up a big piece of land around the cabin, and his
property is bordered on three sides by the Jefferson National
Forest, so there are no neighbors for miles in any direction. It
should be a safe place to stash the three of you until we find out
what your enemies are up to, General Lawrence.”
    “Any comments or questions?” Colonel Bransom
asked, looking around the room. “No? Good, then, let’s get moving
before the plotters decide to declare martial law and…” He stopped
suddenly. “General Lawrence, I want to apologize for my apparent
lack of deference for your rank. You may think I’m being
insubordinate, ordering you around this way. It may not seem that
way, but I do understand that you are the highest-ranking officer
in the entire country, and I have the greatest possible respect for
you. But I was assigned the duty of providing for your safety by
Bernard Cafferson himself, and the only way I can only perform that
duty effectively is…”
    “Colonel Bransom,” Jodie said, holding up her
hand, “please don’t say another word about it. In fact, I want you
to consider that to be an order. Until this crisis has been
resolved, you may think of me as a piece of luggage, an animated
suitcase, to be moved when and where you want me. I would be no
more inclined to interfere with the way you do your job than you
would jog my elbow if I was working up a plan to meet a Chinese
invasion of Australia. You are the head of my security detail,
chosen by General Cafferson personally for the job, and that is
good enough for me. Just do what you have to do to carry out the
mission, and don’t worry about my tender feelings, OK?” She
smiled.
    “Thank you, General Lawrence,” the Colonel
replied.
    “Having just told you how I’m going to keep
my nose out of your business, I’m now going to stick it in. This is
a suggestion, not an order,” Jodie said, “but perhaps we should
start addressing each other by our first names right now, for
practice. We wouldn’t want anybody to slip when we’re out in
public, and call me ‘General Lawrence’…”
    “Excellent point, Gen… uh, Jodie. We will
follow that procedure, starting immediately,” Colonel Bransom
responded. “Now let’s get… Jodie, Robin and Merry out of here
before they decide to set up checkpoints and stop every car leaving
town.”
    “Yes, sir… I mean,
